Michael Webber Beck, from Cumbria, took her own life in her room at Larkhill Camp in Wiltshire in December 2021, five months after Webber's assault. At the end of Beck's inquest in February, the coroner, Nicholas Rheinberg, said Beck's complaint about being sexually assaulted during the exercise should have been reported to the police and the failure to do so breached army policy. He said the army's failure to take appropriate action more than minimally contributed to her death.
